Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Well done is better than well said.

You never know what motivates you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Know or listen to those who know.
